Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps.
Kalinka and Grakkle by Julie Paschkis
Can a perky little bird with an eye for neatness and a very messy monster find a way to be friends?
Kalinka's a showy little bird with an eye for neatness, but her grumpy neighbor Grakkle doesn't care one bit about cleaning. He just wants to relax in his favorite chair and soak his feet in a cool bucket of pickle juice. "Grakk!" he complains as Kalinka "tidies up" his messes. "You’re welcome," she responds. They simply aren't on the same wavelength. Can an unfortunate accident plus a little humor and empathy help an odd couple like this see eye to eye?
Do you like this book?
Yeah I like the silly bird and when Grakkle says graaaaaakk!
What's your favorite part of the book?
I liked the pickle juice with his stinky feet! And the bird fell in. Ewwww. And it made me feel so silly when they were snoring going graaaaaak!
What do you think of the cover?
I like the cover because of the pretty bird.
Do you want me to read it again?
Next time.
This one was kind of a weird book. It's about a bird who goes to his friend Grakkle's home and starts cleaning everything up. But the Grakkle doesn't like it much. Eventually the bird stops and they fall asleep together.
We read an ARC version of the book on my kindle. I don't think we'll be buying the book, or reading it again.
